Means testing debated

Public meeting hosted by PAG

A public meeting to discuss the issue of means testing in the Island prompted a mixed response last night.

Around 40 people attended the debate, hosted by the Positive Action Group.

The guest speaker, Policy and Reform Minister Chris Thomas, is currently running a consultation on government means testing for a wide range of benefits.

Though he insists the plans are at an early stage, he believes an effective system could save considerable sums of money in the long term.
